The West End smash hit The Comedy About A Bank Robbery arrives at Hull New Theatre this month.

Following the sell-out success of its multi award-winning comedy The Play That Goes Wrong, the performances are part of Mischief Theatre’s first UK tour of this "fast and fabulous" comedy caper.

Producer Kenny Wax said: “We are thrilled that this production follows hard on the heels of the sold-out tour of The Play That Goes Wrong.

“Audiences are in for another hilarious treat and we salute Mischief for having written another wonderfully funny play.”

What is the play about?

Summer 1958. Minneapolis City Bank has been entrusted with a priceless diamond. An escaped convict is dead set on pocketing the gem with the help of his screwball sidekick, trickster girlfriend… and the maintenance man.

With mistaken identities, love triangles and hidden agendas, even the most reputable can’t be trusted. In a town where everyone’s a crook, who will end up bagging the jewel?
